What is an original replacement part, and why is that important?

Original parts match the part that came with the product when it was new. These parts are certified by the manufacturer to match the functionality, feel and colour of what was originally delivered with the product. This is the only way to ensure that you will receive the right part for the right product, and that it will function exactly as the manufacturer intended.

What is the difference between an original part and an aftermarket part?

Original parts are produced by the manufacturer to the exact specifications of the part that originally came with the product. Aftermarket parts are produced by third party manufacturers to emulate most of the functions of the original. Aftermarket parts cannot be guaranteed to match the original part in performance, colour, and quality.

What is the difference between a part and an accessory?

Accessories may be generally defined as devices designed to adapt, modify, install, amplify, connect, clean, and maintain the original product. They are product enhancements. Parts, on the other hand, generally refer to functional items that are part of the basic design of a product.

Can I go directly to the manufacturer to purchase original parts?

Yes - and no. While some manufacturers sell parts directly to consumers, many do not. The ones that do not will refer you to a distributor.
